Sorry, what do you mean by "hard to understand"? It's a picture of devastation. howcheng {

Oppose. I'm sure it sounds pretty cynical to complain about cluttered composition. But despite some historical significance (I emphasize some since it isn't really a widely known iconic picture) the quality concerns dominate for my vote. --

Oppose The quality is too poor for FP, I know it has important significance, but it is not an example of our best work.

Strong Support Contributes significantly--unless you somehow have first hand experience of what an atomic-bombed metropolis looks like--to a very important article. Technical merit completely irrelevant here--what do you expect from a devastated area with 1940s technology?
